摘要：
In a first step toward generating an electron-positron plasma, a proof-of-principle experiment is reported in which externally injected slow positrons are trapped in a magnetic mirror configuration by electron cyclotron resonance heating. With a primary flux of only 530 slow positrons/s from a 600 mu Ci Na-22 positron source/moderator system, an estimated equilibrium density of 5x10(2) cm(-3) is obtained in a 20 cm(3) volume. With an appropriate increase of the injected positron flux, densities in the 10(7) cm(-3) range can be expected. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
